And there will be light!
Seems that everything is working now. Well, almost everything. For the next few days the "search" and "user options" features won't be available. Why, you ask? Simple. I didn't implement them yet... This is the price you pay for making a custom system.
So, since this post is here to stay, I'll give you a brief intro into what this whole site deals with. As you can see, my <title> tag gives you out a few keywords about what's gonna be in here. Webappsec, SEO, and more related stuff.
Let me elaborate on each of those separately.
In case you didn't know, "Webappsec" stands for "Web Application Security".
In todays world, information is everything. And thanks to the Internet, it's also everywhere. Traditional info. security was focused on finding and eliminating known software bugs like buffer overflows, by one errors, and the like. Back then, you could fire a debugger on the buggy program, and detect whatever problem was disturbing you.
Today, info. security is different. Since everything is connected into a live giant web, you can't just sit back and debug everything you want as long as you want to. If you've got some interesting data hosted on the net, it won't wait for you to be protected.
The web is based on identical protocols, that have similar implementations. Webappsec is all about finding security problems in those implementations, or even the protocols themselves. Hence making you able to audit live websites (or networks), quickly and seamlessly.
This site will also deal with SEO, Search Engine Optimization.
Not all information needs to stay under the cloak. On the contrary, most info. online is made in order to be read by the public. And for that purpose, we've got search engines. If people can find you on those, you can rest assured that the visitors on your website are enjoying whatever it is you serve them.
If you want to be "visible" online, you need to rank high on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the rest of the SEs. Learning SEO tactics is going to let you do just that. No matter what you write about, or what you sell, smart SEO will always increase the traffic to your website. On the net, that's pretty much all you can wish for.
This site will also deal with other topics. I promise to give away some sources of my own (php, anyone?), and guide you through the development stages of various features.
Anyway, this site is mainly a blog. It will contain mostly NEWS about the topics I mentioned. But don't worry, I'm planning to give the "articles" section a great deal of my time, so this site can deal with more general stuff too.
So that's it for this post. Hope anyone reads this. Guess I'm going to apply some SEO here myself...
